Postdoctoral Position

Departments of Computer Science and Physics

The College of William and Mary (W&M) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) invite applications for a joint postdoctoral research associate position to work on numerical algorithms for Lattice QCD. This position is funded by a recent NSF grant and a matching grant from DOE's JLab. The primary goal of this project is to develop, analyze, and implement new numerical methods that speed up the various components of Lattice QCD codes. Therefore, issues of linear systems of equations, preconditioning, multiple right hand sides, eigenvalue methods, and Monte Carlo methods for Lattice Field Theory are central to this project.

The ideal applicant will have experience on both numerical linear algebra and on algorithmic aspects of lattice QCD calculations. Applicants with strong background in one of the two areas will also be considered, although preference will be given to the area of numerical linear algebra. Experience in C or C++ programming is also required.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, physics, or a related discipline by the time of appointment. Appointments will initially be made for one year and are renewable up to three years upon funding availability. The successful candidate will work with Profs. K. Orginos (Physics/JLab) and A. Stathopoulos (CS) and will be expected to spent half of his or her time at JLab, interacting and possibly collaborating with the JLab Lattice QCD and High Performance Computing groups.

Applicants should send electronic versions of their curriculum vita, statement of professional interests, and the contact information for at least three references to:

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

W&M is an EEO/AA employer.
